Testimony at the Fort smelling Court-Mar-
tial as to Lieut.. wiIcox's Character.
During the past few days the court
martial case of Lieut.. Wilcox has pro-
gressed very rapidly, and will be con-
cluded to-day. After offering the plea
of guilty to the five charges and their
specification be began the introduction
of evidence as to his previous charac-
ter. So far three witnesses have been
heard ON this point, aud their testi-
mony is all 20 the effect that Lieut..
Wilcox has borne an enviable name in
the service. His captain has said that
he considered him a most excellent
officer both on duty and in other rela.
tions and that he would not exchange
him for any other lieutenant in the
Seventh cavalry" Lieut.. Devoll, OF
Smelling, who has long known the &C.
cused at Fort Meade, testified as tc
having money relations with him and
said that he bad alwsys been scrupu,
lous In the dischstge Of any obliga
tions incurred. II Is a point to bs
noticed that Lieut. Wilcox has not
called any witnesses from Q dlstsncs
but has called only those who happen
TO be In the city or ct the post. The
witnesses to-day will testify a. TO the

condition OF the Lieutenant when
under the influence OF liquor. Some
testimony has already been offered on
this point, and it appears to be the
common judgment Of his scquaint-
snces that while drinking and for
some time after, he is not accountable
for what he does. The evidence on
this point is strong. His gentlemanly
manners, kindness and generosity
have been favorably commented on by
the witnesses. So far il seems that
the case is totally different from those
deliberate swindles which have been
practiced on the government, in many
OF which the delinquents have escaped
unharmed and have been afterwa
taken into confidential relations with
officers in high command.-Globe.

Retaliation on Iowa.

CHICAGO, December 2O.-Considerable
stir has been caused here by the fact leak
ing out that the Kelley Brewing company
has instructed its brokers to buy no bar
ley grown in or shipped from the states
of Iowa or Kansas. The secretary of the
company says: "If they won't buy cur
beer it is quite proper that we should not
buy their barley" Louis Huck, million
aire malster, said if there was a general
movement he would join it heartily. He
declared the farmers of Iowa were hypo-
critics, pretending to believe in prohibition
and at the same time are raising barley
for the manufacture of whiskey and beer.

What Dempsey Says.

New YORK, December 10. - When
Jack Dempsey walked into the office OF
the Police Gazette the other day to re-
ceive his check for $4,000 and the dia-
mond-studded belt, no one would have
supposed that he had fought a battle of
forty-tive rounds with so good a man as
Jack Reagan the day previous. There
was not a mark on his face. He limped
slightly from the squirting inflicted by a
spike in the toe of Reagan's shoes. Mr..
Fox handed Dempsey $4,000 and a box
containing Kilrain's colors with the re-
mark:
"Well Jack, I hope Kilrain will do as
we'll as you did"
at was a pretty hard fight" said
Dempsey, and though I do not think
that Reagan is any match for me, you
can bet he is a game man. The way l
was spiked was outrageous. Reagan, in
stead of wearing the spikes in his shoes
about an inch from the sides and toward
the ball of his foot, had one of the
spikes right under his big toe. He spiked
me twice. The second round he spiked
me, tearing the tendons right out OF my
leg, and the shock was SO great that it ran
right up the cord Of my neck. 1t was a
deliberate, intentional foul"
Frank Stevenson said he did not be-
lieve that the spiking was intentional on
Reagan's part. Reagan had a way Of
stepping forward and throwing out his
left foot. If any one was to blame it was
the man who ordered his shoes for him.

as No-Man' $ Land. This Mexican grant is
